At the invitation of a wonderful family of friends, I had the privilege of using their Capitol Hill condo in Seattle the past five nights. Last night, though, I had already made it as far as Tukwila though; it’s time to move on. I reached Federal Way on foot this evening, and will spend both tonight and tomorrow night at the Federal Way home of my stepmother’s sister, who lives there with two of my grown cousins. Tomorrow, I’ll depart from here for Tacoma.
Here are several pics from today’s walk between Tukwila and Federal Way. I spent most of the day on 99–the Pacific Highway, passing the Seattle-Tacoma airport in the process.

BRANCH: After leaving the Capitol Hill condo this morning, I decided to add a branch to my path: I walked many additional blocks within Seattle–including to where I once worked, across the street from the funny-shaped, downtown Seattle Public Library. I connected this branch of blocks to my path through Washington (a portion of Seattle I walked days ago), before returning to yesterday’s stopping point, in Tukwila, and proceeding south on my route from there.
